1. « was called » : « is called », « they call », otherwise [face=SPIonic]e)kalei=to[/face]
10. « began-to-call » : yes, inchoative imperfect is mentioned by Smyth, section 1900, but I am not comfortable with this concept (it is maybe a « ghost imperfect »), as an inchoative aorist does exist. Someday I will try to clear it up.
